Leaves Ohio State after serving as Buckeyes’ OC for a season
Back to the NFL: Former Eagles HC Chip Kelly is being hired as the Raiders offensive coordinator. (ESPN – Adam Schefter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: The Raiders left no doubt about how much they coveted Kelly, who will receive three times the salary in Vegas ($6 million) as he was about to receive from the Buckeyes. While there is reason to be skeptical about the hire based on how his stints as the head coach in Philadelphia and San Francisco ended, Las Vegas figures to be exciting on offense for the first time in a while. Kelly loves to play with tempo and run the ball, so fantasy managers should not be afraid to target whoever is the lead runner in Vegas next season.
